Since the surface texture of materials often affects human visual impressions as much as or more than the design, shape, or color properties, texture characteristics have been studied as features of object identification. We have been investigating the effect of texture on visual impression and objective identification using black fabrics that do not exhibit any effects of color. Our studies showed that visual impressions of texture correspond to complex micro-components and global structures of image features of those textures. Our results also showed that some important elements influence human visual impressions and identification of textures. Because of a variety of fibrous structures, it is not easy to provide a systematic analysis of clothing materials. Nevertheless, developing the method and collecting data on these elements and their effects using these image features will be important. To make this research applicable for wider use, we have been studying precisely what it is about an arbitrary texture that influences human visual impressions and sensibility. As a new step, in this paper, a texture is altered and transformed using the parameter estimation method of texture based on mathematical morphology, which is often used for extracting image components that are useful for representation and description. A texture is decomposed into a primitive and grain arrangement which correspond to local and global characteristics, respectively. Different textures are created by modifying the primitive and the arrangement to investigate the effects of modifications of local and global features. The relationship between the parameters and visual impressions of the modified textures were evaluated. This study shows that influence of both local and global structures of the texture along with their combinations and mutual interactions are important for identification of human visual impression.

This is a feasibility study that uses various visual images of products to investigate an abstract concept known as tiresomeness. Tiresomeness can be an important criterion when consumers make up their minds to purchase new products. This study aims to grasp the characteristics of tiresomeness and how consumers generally recognize its existence, as well as to clarify the conditions that evoke tiresomeness. Based on a discrimination experiment, visual elements associated with product designs are extracted to study the conditions that influence whether a consumer gets tired of observing visual images of 12 products. Tiresomeness is produced as “function”, “design”, “experience”, “time” and “interest”. It is clarified that the design elements that controll tiresomeness are “simplicity”, “statement”, “the number of colors”, and “usability”.

The purpose of this study is to visualize the impressions on words between two subjects. We employ Semantic Differential (SD) method that is one of the most popular methods to quantify individual subjectivity. The number of dimensions of eachi mpression word is same with that of objects in SD data. It needs to be reduced to less than three dimensions for visualization. This paper proposes the visualization method which focuses on correlations of SD data between two subjects. The impression words are visualized on three-dimensional space where impression words having high correlation between two subjects' SD data are put close one another. We can investigate and discuss the similarities/differences of impression words between two subjects through this visualized space.
